Coach Brand
I have been the Hiram cross country coach since 2010, and I have been teaching English at HHS since 2002. In the spring, I coach the distance runners in track too. I truly love coaching and teaching.
I grew up in Marietta and graduated from McEachern High School in 1995. Since then, I earned an English degree from the University of Georgia in 2000 and an English Education degree in 2007 from Kennesaw State University.
My family, then coaching and teaching, is my life. I am extremely blessed to have my wife, Sarah, and my sons, Luke (6) and Ryan (4), in my life.
As a runner, I know how demanding serious training can be, and I am committed to helping each of my runners achieve their ultimate best. Every gain earned by an established runner in cross country running is fought for with guts, heart, and committment, and I do my best to encourage my team as much I as can. Distance running is extremely tough, but it, like I tell my runners, can be extraordinarilly rewarding!
